The Best Grilled Chicken

This really is The Best Grilled Chicken and it is just in time for the summer grilling season. Sometimes Chicken on the grill can be tough and the flavor just on the top of the meat, this chicken is so tender and juicy it will just melt in your mouth. This recipe has been on our grill many times and I am happy to share it with you today.

Your chicken looks better than mine ever has, and I've made this many many times. Really nice photo Miz Helen. I really like this recipe and so glad your chose it. I think the rub and the basting sauce are "just right". I'm heading over to the link to you BBQ sauce. Yay for grilling season. Nice cooking with you in SRC.

The grilled chicken looks fabulous. I too, like the use of Tumeric, it gives a bright color to the glazes or any dish you put it in. Love the blog and will visit Lee Ann at Cooking at the Ranch. I would love to have you join our BBQ Block Party-Linky Party.

Hi Tammy,I have not made this recipe in the oven, however if I did: I would roast uncovered at 425 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the internal temperature of the Chicken reaches 165. Baste 4 times during the cooking period, 15 minutes before the Chicken is done, baste with your favorite grilling sauce. It should be delicious! Thanks for stopping by I am always happy to help someone with a recipe and be sure and let me know how it turns out. Have a great weekend!Miz Helen
